A SPLENDID PREMIUM
Ah p A VALUABLE PRESENT.
SOW WHEAT AND OATS.
Now is the time for sowing grain.
TV e urge our farmers to put in a large
area of wheat and oats. But don’t do it
in a careless manner. Select some of
your best land, manure liberally, pre
pare well, get the best s§ ed, and pnt it
in in the best manner, If this is done
you cannot sow too much grain, and it
will pay as much net profit as any crop
you can raise, and with far less trouble,
outlay, labor and risk. The latead-
rance in the prices of alLkinda of gram,
caused by a largely increased demand
for exportation to England, indicates
that provisions will be costly next year;
We have perfected arrangements to
give all our*subscribers, old as well as
ones, who pay strictly in advance,
.ears subscription to a splendid agri
cultural and household paper. This
will be giving them two good papers a\
the price of one - Premium paper j and sueh being the case, it is high time
jg not only a good one.bufc a high toned,
pliable one, consisting of eight pages,
sod they will receive it twice a month,
jt ie also published in the South, and is
more largely read than any farm paper
in the South. This offer begins at
flBC e, and will end tbe first day of Jan-
jjjjjy next. In addition to the above
„ e will present all wbo subscribe by
or before the 15th of Novomber with a
P0 pj of “Legal Faot3 and Forms," an
invaluable little hand book for farmers
and business men. We are making
these great inducements to cash ash
lers only, and hereafter noname will
bo entered on our hooks unless the sub-
tcrip tion is paid strictly in advance. Col-
leotiug subscription accounts in many
jjistajjces, is too slow, troublesome and
expensive a business to be renumera-
five, and we are determined to do a cash
business if vre don’t get more than four
bundled subscribers.
We l»ope *11 of our old subscribers
nnd many new ones will oome up at
once, pay old scores, if any,and renew.
jgy- Don’t forget this, and be sure to
loll all your neighbors about it.
Ou tbe first of December we will take
out a lot of advertisements and very
largely increase tbe reading matter in
The Eomb Journal,
jftgyWe return heartfelt thanks for
the liberal patronage we have recived
in the past, and assure them that we try
harder every day to prove ourselves wor-
ty of it.

Messrs Ashley & Spe er, solo mana

Fertilizer, were in town Tuesday. Mr.
B. H. Gates is manager for Houston
.*nd we have heard several who bought
formulas from him last spring, speak iu
ihe highest terms of it. It is certain
ly cheap and said to be very effective,
being certified to by many of our best
-citizens, Those who have not obtained
farm rights should ca’l on Mr, Gates at
Perry at once and seoure them.—It.
Hon. Peterson Thweat was in Perry
Tuesday, and made ns a calk He came
to find out what we meant by saying
Borne time ago that he was persecuting
•the Legislature. Of course we .didn’t
-.remember. But jesting aside wo found
him a very pleasant old gentleman of
Biity; and wo dcubt not he made an ef
ficient and faithful officer when he was
Comptroller. General.
The unveiling of the Confederate
■monument in Macon wasa grand thing,
.and the address of Honorable Thomas
Hardeman was universally conceded t 0
be the greatest and most successful ef
fort of his life. It was the very highest
grade o eloquence.

Gen. pjli Warren was a member of
the Legislature from Laurens cojjnty,
in 1831..
our farmers were deciding whether they
will be sellers or buyers of bread-
stuffs,
On the o ther hand it is likely that next
year the largest acreage of cotton evu«
known will be planted, and the crop
may very nearly approach six millions
of bales. In this case the price will
drop to six or eight cents, and disaster
will be universal among planters, en
tailing another decade of financial dis
tress on tbe South.
The thoughtful, earnest, industrious
farmer can make plenty of wheat to feed
hfm.and oats to keep his stock, b eaidesa
little to sell and help him along at the
time when he worst needs a few dollars;
and by good culture can then make
plenty of cotton to almost break him if
tne price goes below the cost of produc
tion, or to secure handsome returns if
it ranges like it has this season.
Whatever turn cotton may take, and
its crapriciousness is too well know to
need much comment here, the farmer
who has plenty of small grain for his
own use and a little to sell is not going
to be forced to buy much corn at a, dol
lar and a quarter a bushel next sum
mer.
Now, in practice, let us apply a lesson
to every man who has fifty acres to the
plow. No matter what the size of his
farm is, let him put ten acres to the
mule in wheat, ten in oats; ten in corn,
and twenty in cotton. Even on poor
land: if he will prepare, fertilize and
cultivate well, he may make a hundred
bushels of wheat, two bunded of oats,
one hundred of corn and seven bales
of cotton, besides peas, potatoes, celton
seed, ebufas and other patch crops,
On good land ho can make ten bales of
cotton, and the cotton money fo a good
manager will be at least half profit,
at ten cents a pound; for bis other crops
will pay nearly all expenses except the
gathering and making of the crop.
We love to see fat mules aud horses,
good hogs, cattle apd poultry, cheerful,
healthy men apd women and hearty,
tow headed children; and wherever you
go you. will find them at the house
of the man who rais speefc, of provisions
and provender at home, aud the sheriff
is never on yisitirg terms of intimacy
(profeesionable) with that family.
